How to Live as an Illegal Healer

138. Tracotti Village 4

“Is it a village where healers are hard to find?”

The Red Forest is a dangerous area where monsters appear even in broad daylight. Tracotti, the only safe zone here, is a perfect place to treat the injured in the forest, so generally speaking, there is no reason not to see a healer.

“Is there no priest healer in Tracotti?”

“yes. The power of the church is weak in the area around here.”

“Eh? why not?”

“Of course it must be because of Kamar.”

Kang Seung-hyun said while drinking a stamina potion.

Then the hooded woman nodded and replied.

“that’s right. If you want to make a living around here, going to Kamar to work or to sell stuff is essential.”

The people of the Pitsta Lake region have been dependent on the Camar for a long time.

It was because there were no farmlands in Camar, so all food was imported from the surrounding villages, and there were many magicians who were crazy about research, so it was easy to find a job, even if it was a chore.

“Of course, the influence of Kamar and the Mage Tower is enormous.”

In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that the entire Red Forest and Lake Pitsta were in the hands of the Crimson Mage Tower.

Thanks to this, the church that was hostile to the Mage Tower couldn’t build a temple, so they couldn’t dispatch priests, and wandering priests rarely came.

“Then… what about the Adventurer Healer? There’s also an adventurer’s guild in town, so I think a lot of them will come.”

“no. Most of them are staying in Camar.”

The hooded woman shook her head and said.

“There is a big city right next to it, but there’s no way you can come to such a small town.”

Camar is one of the leading cities in the west, and there is an adventurer’s guild in the city, so you can meet plenty of adventurers without going to Tracotti.

“Above all, you can also find rich nobles and mage customers in Camar.”

Tracotti is not without rich people, but most of them are commoners without money. If you’re a healer whose goal is money, it’s normal for you to be killing Kamar.

“That’s why very few healers come to Tracotti. If there is one, it’s a party healer belonging to the adventurer’s party.”

Even so, if the timing is off because they don’t stay long and leave right away, it happens that they don’t meet a single healer in the village.

“The problem is that this is the only safe zone in the Red Forest.”

“There are a lot of adventurers as well as travelers and people looking for research materials.”

“Of course, there are many injured people.”

“But there are no healers among them. It’s really funny.”

The adventurer party grumbled lightly.

Thanks to this, Tracotti is a subtle village with a large floating population but few healers.

Even if I was lucky enough to meet with a healer, I had to wait for dozens of patients to be treated.

“That’s why adventurers who get injured in the Red Forest often do first aid in Tracotti and then go back to Camar.”

“If we were normal, it would have been like that.”

The problem is that Camar is closed now.

Thanks to this, it is impossible to go to Kamar to receive treatment or to call a healer from Kamar.

“If it wasn’t for Kang Seung-hyun’s healer earlier, I would have wasted a lot of time looking for a healer. Maybe I haven’t found a healer yet…”

“Thank you so much for your help.”

The hooded woman bowed politely once more.

“Then we’ll go away.”

“You can’t keep the patient on the ground.”

“Thank you so much!”

The party of adventurers left, supporting Wilson on the floor.

wheein!

Then a strong wind blew.

The woman’s hood came off, leaving long bright red hair strewn about.

“oh!”

The woman hurriedly pulled on her hood, looked around, and followed her companions.

Seeing that, Kang Seung-hyeon thought as he drank the potion.

‘Is that guy also from Tracotti?’

There’s no law saying that all redheads are from the Red Forest, but that woman knew more about Tracotti than most of her colleagues.

If you’re not a Tracotti person, that’s even more amazing.

‘It seems like he’s hiding it on purpose. Why?’

If it was Camar who was badly beaten by the Red Lord, there was no need to hide the color of her hair in Tracotti.

‘I thought there was a story behind it.’

Kang Seung-hyeon wondered, but he couldn’t ask because the person in question had gone far before he had time to talk.

– “That is a very delicate situation.”

“What?”

“If you listen to those friends, this is where a healer must be.”

After the adventurer party leaves.

Seunghyun Kang and the others simply cleaned up after themselves.

“But really~ I can’t believe they have everything except for the healer.”

Kim Ho-jeong said as she folded the carpet of the rest barrier. Thanks to the resting barrier, the carpet was clean without a speck of dust even though it was spread out on the dirt floor.

“Things do get funny.”

Kang Seung-hyun took out a stamina potion and said.

The Red Forest is the most dangerous area near Pitsta Lake, but there are no church healers for political reasons, no adventurer healers for geographical reasons, and there are no treatment centers for economic reasons.

“If this place had been a little further away from Kamar, Healer wouldn’t have been as invisible as it is now.”

Tracotti was halfway close to Camar.

So, all the healers have flocked to Camar, which is relatively convenient to stay.

“Balik then, how do Tracotti people get healed when they get hurt?”

“Tracotti goes to Camar when he needs a healer.”

“Everyone in the neighboring village is similar.”

You can tell from the fact that the Balik couple came to Kamar to treat Rudy, but people from the Pitsta Lake area head to Kamar when an urgent patient occurs.

It was because there was a treatment center run by the Healing Foundation instead of the church, and there were many adventurer healers who were aiming for the magical money of magicians.

“Then do I have to cross the lake by boat every time a patient comes out? It will be very cumbersome.”

“Well… But people like us don’t have many things to do to find a healer.”

“Usually people with money go.”

The Balik couple smiled shyly and said.

“We only visit the clinic once a month when we go to Kamar to sell and buy Rudi’s medicine.”

“I have never received heels because they are expensive.”

“That’s why commoners don’t care if there is a healer in the village or not. Adventurers are different though.”

In the first place, the commoners of the Azul continent did not have enough pockets to call a healer, so it was basic to treat minor injuries with potions and herbs.

“Well, the Red Road kids said that there are many good herbs in the Red Forest.”

“It’s a perfect town for a Yame Healer.”

There are few healers, but it’s easy to get materials.

For Kang Seung-hyun, there is no better place than this.

“Then, I think the tidying up is roughly finished… Shall we go eat first? I am hungry.”

“Maybe.”

“I want to eat well and get a good rest.”

Kim Ho-jeong muttered as she grabbed her stomach.

I haven’t eaten breakfast, so it’s time to eat something.

“Then we’ll be leaving.”

“If it weren’t for you two, we would still be trapped in Camar.”

Unlike the people trapped in Kamar, the Balik couple were able to reach Trakoti safely, and they sincerely thanked the two people who protected them.

‘Of course, if I had to do the same thing again, I would never do it…’

‘I won’t step out of Tracotti for another year or so.’

Of course, I regretted a lot for following the two of them on the way.

“If you don’t mind, you can stay at my house during your stay in Tracotti.”

“Oh, that’s fine. I’m going to rent an inn for some chores.”

“Because I have to leave the laundry first.”

“Then be careful going in.”

“It was a short meeting, but it was fun!”

Kang Seung-hyun and his party left as they watched the Balik family return home.

They looked very tired but happy.

“Envy you. When can I go home?”

“well.”

“A life where you can’t go home even if you die…”

There are people who have settled in the Azul Continent, but many dimension movers still dream of returning to Earth.

Kim Ho-jeong was one of those people.

“Do you have any reason to go home?”

“Home is not a place to go for a reason.”

Kim Ho-jeong looked up at the sky and said.

I just want to go because it’s home.

“And… I have something I must do.”

“That goes for me too.”

Life on the Azul Continent had long since become accustomed to it.

Living here suits my aptitude, and it wouldn’t be bad to stay here as it is.

“If it wasn’t for that, I would have just lived here.”

He has a reason to return to Earth.

-“For now, let’s start with what needs to be done.”

“Is it so?”

The reason the two of them came to Tracotti through hardships is to rent a carriage to return to Hind Village.

“Well, it would be impossible to leave right now.”

“I’m out of potions and I need to get my weapons sorted… I’m hungry more than anything.”

Kim Ho-jeong muttered as she grabbed her stomach.

I haven’t eaten breakfast, so it’s time to eat something.

“Then shall we start with accommodations? Rice is settled at the inn restaurant.”

“Let’s do it.”

“Well, this is a town where adventurers often come and go, so there won’t be any empty rooms.”

The two headed to Tracotti Inn.

But as soon as I entered the inn, I heard a terrible sound.

“Sorry, sir. There are no vacant rooms in our inn right now.”

“There are no vacant rooms?”

“All of your rooms are full.”

The inn employee said with a very apologetic face.

“Why?”

“That’s because the road to Camar is blocked now, so all the adventurers came to Trakoti.”

“…then let’s go next door.”

“Probably at other inns, too.”

“There must be at least one room!”

The two did not give up and went to another inn, but

“There are no vacant rooms in our inn right now…

”

“Oh, there are no vacancies.”

“It is possible to stay overnight in a dumpster.”

Everywhere I went, I was refused because there was no room available.

The two of them came out to Tracotti Square with empty faces.

“Looking at it now, there are many people besides us who couldn’t find a room.”

Adventurers who could not find lodging could be seen preparing tents or laying down mats.

“Do I have to come all the way here and sleep again?”

“It’s called sleeping outdoors.”

“I’m sick of sleeping on the dirt floor!”

Pak!

“I’m sure you’ll be begging the Balik couple!”

Kim Ho-jung hit the floor with a shovel.

Red dirt and Kim Ho-jung’s tears spurted out in all directions.

“Should I ask you to put it to sleep right now?”

“I thought about that too, but we don’t know their house.”

“Even if you ask the villagers, they won’t tell you. Because we are outsiders.”

Kim Ho-jung sighed deeply and lamented.

“I want to stay indoors today no matter what.”

“There is nothing we can do about it.”

Seunghyun Kang clicked his tongue and got up.

“I have no choice but to use the last method.”

she murmured in a bitter voice.

In fact, healers were reluctant to go to the remote Trakoti, preferring to stay in Camar, which has good infrastructure and is safe.

“If you are a normal healer, there is no advantage to going to Tracotti.”

Seunghyun Kang also agreed.
